Fast becoming an annual festive tradition, and regularly selling out, this night is one for the diary. Imagine the OneTouch Theatre converted into an intimate club, filled with music and dancing.

Karawane present for the first time in the north, Gnawa Trance Fusion; a dynamic live band spearheaded by the Moroccan-born musician Omar Afif. They are renowned for their unique fusion of the spiritual, trance-inducing rhythms of traditional Gnawa music with a diverse range of genres, including Afro-funk, blues, jazz, electronic, psychedelic, and even elements of Scottish folk.

Their performances are celebrated for their immersive and powerful live experience, captivating audiences with a musical tapestry that traverses’ continents and centuries, merging the ancient sounds of North Africa with contemporary musical influences from Europe and beyond. The group’s collective backgrounds—spanning Morocco, Uganda, and Scotland—bear testament to the creative possibilities that emerge when tradition meets innovation and when artists draw upon the energy and wisdom of multiple worlds.

Before and after the band, The Karawane Djs and percussionists keep you moving from pulsing Brazilian samba to brassy Nigerian afrobeat, Colombian salsa to the deep dancefloor sounds from South Africa to NYC.

This is a one-of-a-kind experience in Inverness, and not to be missed! All aged 16+ are welcome, no dress code, and expect to dance!!
